So, Ellinor left the cafe with Bartlett and hopped into his car.
No one noticed the brief flash in the shadows!
As Bartlett's car started, an orange sports car followed behind.
"Stay on their tail!"
The driver, Carlos, looked confused. "Boss, why are we tailing the heir of the Rex family?"
Byran Howard, sitting in the passenger seat, slapped his sidekick Carlos. "Duh! We're not after Bartlett. I'm after the woman sitting next to him!"
Carlos looked surprised. "Boss, you're into Mr. Rex's woman?"
Byran slapped him again. "What nonsense are you talking? Do you think I'd be into someone that unattractive? Am I blind?"
Carlos rubbed his head, puzzled.
In his opinion, the girl wasn't unattractive at all!
He'd been eyeing her from afar and found her very beautiful.
She was both innocent and cute, like a little sprite.
Byran frowned, leaning back in his seat, arms crossed. "That unattractive woman is the one Theo just married!"
Carlos was taken aback and grew more worried. "Then... Boss, if you're into Mr. Blanchet's woman, that's even worse!"
Oh man! If it wasn't for the fact Carlos was driving, Byran would have kicked him!
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm trying to expose the true face of that woman, let Theo see her for what she is, and help my sister get back together with him!"
Carlos looked helpless. "Boss, the reason Ms. Howard and Mr. Blanchet can't be together is because of the feud between our families, the Howards and the Blanchets. It has nothing to do with anyone else..."
"Byran, are you serious? Ellinor is so shameless, doing this behind my brother's back! My grandma has been so fond of her recently, I'm so pissed!"
Veronica told Byran about how Ellinor had dunked her head in the toilet, how she pretended to be well-behaved in front of their grandma, and how Ellinor stirred up trouble between her and their grandma.
Byran became very angry after hearing this. "It seems this woman is good at pretending. Today, we'll expose her true colors!"
Veronica, having found an ally, was excited. "Okay! Byran, I'll help you!"
"Good. I'll text you their meeting place later!" After thinking for a bit, Byran added, "You should bring some of the elders from your family. That way, we can expose Ellinor all at once!"
Veronica nodded seriously. "I understand! I'll go talk to my grandma right now!"
After hanging up, Byran smirked.
Just you wait, Ellinor. Today will be your downfall!
